Leila Miller

Leila Miller serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition of advanced aerospace, cyber-enabled, and C5ISRT systems critical to maintaining air superiority and space dominance. She manages complex contracting actions aligned with the Air Force’s modernization priorities, focusing on engineering services, mission-critical infrastructure, and professional technical support. Her work ensures timely delivery of next-generation capabilities, including avionics integration, secure communications architectures, and AI-driven analytical platforms, directly enabling operational readiness across global defense missions. Miller maintains strategic relationships with prime contractors including The Boeing Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation, consistently engaging these industry leaders for high-impact systems development and sustainment contracts. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with major defense aerospace primes to deliver integrated solutions in command and control, electronic warfare, and space-based assets. These partnerships are typically structured under full and open competition, reflecting a preference for proven capabilities and mature acquisition pathways. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, Miller demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately 25% of her portfolio designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively facilitates opportunities for small businesses to contribute to Air Force modernization efforts, particularly in engineering and professional services, without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she procures systems engineering, test and evaluation, and systems integration support. She also regularly acquires commercial and institutional construction services (NAICS 236220) for mission facility upgrades and professional technical services (NAICS 541990) supporting cyber infrastructure and data analytics. Her expertise spans the full lifecycle of defense acquisition, from requirements definition through contract closeout, ensuring technical rigor and regulatory compliance across all procurement actions.
